People aren't going to like it but after Tate I bet we don't do much til the Mack situation is figured out. I think Mack is waiting until we [inappropriate/removed] our cap space away before talking to other teams. Farmers smart and probably not going to do that.

Revis was one thing.

DRC is completely different

Yeah I want nothing to do with DRC. Bad character, heart isn't in it and tbh he isn't even that great anymore

I thought Dominique Rogers-Cromartie was older. He is going to be 28 in April. I would give him a big signing bonus meaning front loaded. I heard on 92.3 that the browns still have about 38 m left to spent & that is including mack! Just a thought. Go Browns!

I really hope we use that money to expand Haden and Mack, then save the rest for big Phil, Gordon, and Cameron

That 38M is for this year. You cannot extend Gordon until 2015. So this year's cap has no bearing on Josh Gordon going forward._________________“From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.” -- J R R Tolkien LOTR

Yea but we don't want to get in bad cap situations in the future- now I've liked that they have front loaded some of these contracts so that we can try our best to keep our guys - I really hope we can work out a deal and get Haden locked up long term_________________

Also, Rubins contract ends next year, that is $6m off the cap, also Kruger can be cut which will save us about $4.5m in cap space (dont want to cut him but if mingo continues to improve and Kruger doesnt then he doesnt deserve that $8.2m cap number. Also both Groves and Barnidge may be gone which is another $2.5m off the cap, also i presume that Whitner and Dansby will have a smaller cap hit next year so we really arent in that bad a position to resign the little talent we have.

Dansby and Hawk will have no impact on Gordon. Whitner might- but he'll have just as big of impact as Ward would have. Tate might but we needed a freaking back. The cap is going up a lot. I would rather win to keep these guys wanting to come back here as opposed to try and get cute with the cap situation._________________

We have a good cap situation for next year as well._________________“From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.” -- J R R Tolkien LOTR

Yeah, that was the site i was using, but Joe Haden, Joe Thomas and Josh Gordon are really the only irreplaceable players on our team atm so those are the only players i would worry about resigning early. The calls to resign uncle phil and Cameron are a bit premature, i understand Cameron as he is just dreamy but he only has one good season and he is more valuable to us than any other team. lets just see how they preform next year before rushing into resigning them.

I'm not even a little bit worried about the cap.

We have a TON of space
We don't have a huge QB contract like a lot of teams.
Cap is expected to go up 30 mil over the next 3-5 years.
Dansby and Hitner are shorter deals with most being paid this year and next._________________

And why is this turning into the Auburn WR vs OSU WR

Because the game won't be close, so they have to make something competitive.
